More details come out about the woman who was killed trying to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
The protests about it are spreading to cities coast to coast as leftists call for the murder of more ICE agents, as well as the murder of DHS Secretary Christine Ohm.
And it feels like deja vu all over again, doesn't it?
You know, they say history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
And there are winks of providence here because there's meaning imbued in all of history.
And in this case, we're looking at leftists committing violence over a false narrative peddled by the media following an officer-involved killing in Minneapolis.
It's even the same city as George Floyd five years later.
But in this case, especially following a remarkable press conference from Vice President JD Vance, which we'll get to, in this case, public officials have the opportunity to avoid, to correct all of the mistakes that they made in the year of our Floyd five years ago on Michael Knowles.
This is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show.
We are now getting direct threats to kill ICE officers.
And what the Trump administration does next really, really matters.
Also, speaking of radicalization, the United Arab Emirates are now cutting off funding for their own students to go study in the United Kingdom because they're afraid that the UAE Arabs might be radicalized in Britain.
They might be lured into radical Islam in Britain.
We'll get to that.
Radicalization everywhere.

We got new footage from the SUV incident, the shooting in Minneapolis.
We covered two or three angles yesterday on the show.
Now we even have clearer evidence.
This is from the front of the SUV by way of CNN of all places.
As the vehicle passes, you can see the dark colored SUV driven by Renee Nicole Good.
There you go.
That's on the right.
the officer in front of the SUV.
See?
There's the officer in front, and there you go.
So this is the false narrative that the media are trying to peddle is that the officer was on the side of the car and he shoots her through the open driver door window.
There are many, many libs, like normal libs, like your aunt or somebody, who think that's what happened.
That is not what happened.
You now have multiple angles from the front, even brought to you by CNN.
So it's a liberal news channel showing that the officer is in front of the car.
Okay.
That's enough CNN.
We've had enough CNN.
Now we have another angle here.
This is from the slow motion footage, but specifically of the wheel of the SUV.
So one of the claims, the most ridiculous claim being peddled is that the officer wasn't in front of the car.
He was on the side and he shoots her through the open driver door window.
That is just completely made up.
That is not true at all.
In fact, we have the bullet hole through the front windshield.
Then the people who admit, okay, yes, there was another officer who was in front of the SUV.
The argument they're making is that the woman turned her wheel before she hit the gas.
She turned her wheel to try to get out of the way.
She wasn't trying to run the guy over.
She was trying to get out of the way.
And so she turned her wheel before she hit the gas.
Some are trying to argue that the officer shot before she hit the gas.
That's totally untenable.
But this really narrow argument that, which again is kind of immaterial because this is all happening in a split second.
So the officer still would have been justified if she starts moving her car.
He's in front of it, even if technically the wheel were going the other way.
But even that narrative isn't true because we have the slow-mo footage here.
Take a look.
So the woman backs up.
There you go.
There you have it.
She backs up, hits the gas directly into the officer and then turns the wheel.
Give it to me again.
Hits the gas directly into the officer and then the wheel turns.
In fact, the only reason that she didn't run him over before he could discharge his weapon is because it's Minneapolis, it's winter.
There was ice on the ground and she hit it so fast, the wheel spun.
You know this, if you've ever tried to accelerate, even on dry roads, sometimes your wheel spins a little bit before you go.
Had she had better tires, had the road been less icy, that officer would be smushed.
You don't need to conclude from this that this woman set out that morning to go murder an ICE officer.
You don't have to conclude from this even that in the moment, in this moment where she's clearly got adrenaline pumping, she's excited, she is probably scared, she doesn't know what to do.
She's been told that these people are fascists or whatever.
I don't know.
She has crazy ideology in her head.
Regardless, you don't need to think that she consciously said, I'm going to run this guy over.
But the one thing you cannot deny is that she hit the gas with her tires pointed in the direction of the officer, would have run him over, and he fires the gun.
That is undeniable.
Even if you're on that woman's side, which you shouldn't be, you can feel sorry for the woman.
You can pray for the woman.
You should pray for her family.
You should do all of those things.
But even if you're on the woman's side, which you should not be, you have to admit, it's right there before your very eyes.
Some of this footage is brought to you by CNN, okay?
There is no doubt as to the facts.
The officer was entirely in the right.
This isn't one of these, well, I mean, maybe, you know, I don't know.
It's kind of ambiguous.
It's not ambiguous.
He was entirely in the right.
She was entirely in the wrong.
You can, and I think you should feel sad about it.
You don't want the woman to die.
She was fed a bunch of crazy ideology.
She's clearly emotionally unregulated.
Every man's death diminishes me because I am.
I am part of humanity.
You know i'm no man is an island, entire unto himself, all those things, but it's not.
The facts are not ambiguous.
There's also no doubt what she was up to.
She was there to obstruct law enforcement.
We now have this thanks to where is this?
The NEW YORK POST.
Here we go.
NEW YORK POST article published yesterday.
Woman's name was Renee Nicole Good.
Renee Nicole Good was Minneapolis ice watch warrior who trained to resist feds before shooting.
So there's another false narrative that the media are telling you, which is that this was just a mother who was out, you know, to pick up her kids or something, and she found herself in a bad situation.
That's the most ridiculous narrative.
That this was an innocent, naive little dove, that's the most ridiculous.
Oh, she just happened to find herself there and these cops unprompted, decided to surround her vehicle.
The more plausible but still ridiculous argument is, well no, she was there to stop the ice officers, but it was just because, you know she's a a good samaritan protecting the innocent face tattooed gangsters.
You know she, it's because it just came upon her suddenly and she had this extemporaneous uh, impulse to stop the police officers.
But the reality is a little different from that.
She trained to obstruct law enforcement.
So I mentioned yesterday I don't think this woman was an anarchist terrorist or something I don't.
I don't think it was like the Antifa guys who showed up to a talk that I was giving at the University OF Pittsburgh, having trained with black block cells in anarchist bookshops throwing molotov cocktails and fireworks and that sort of thing.
I don't think she's that.
She's also not just a concerned mom or a woman who found herself in a bad situation.
She's somewhere in between those two things she's.
She's not uh, you know, one of these 1920s anarchists setting off bombs on Wall Street.
She's not that.
But she was actively trying to undermine law enforcement.
She was actively opposing law enforcement.
She was actively aiding and abetting criminals and she was operating a very deadly weapon, namely an suv that she used to nearly run over a cop.
She was somewhere in the middle of those two things and no one wants to admit that kind of ambiguity.
No one wants to admit that blurriness.
In part, I think the reason people don't want to admit that blurriness is it.
It indicts a lot of our countrymen.
I I saw this firsthand after Charlie was murdered.
So this was three, four months ago now.
What was so shocking, so scandalous about that wasn't, well, the first thing was the fact that Charlie would be murdered on a university campus for having respectful dialogue with people.
That was the first thing that was scandalous.
But this very nearly as scandalous was the fact that so many of our fellow Americans would support it, would celebrate it, even because it means that, like that girl you went to math class with.
It means your co-worker, it means your classmate, it means your neighbor is much more radical, much more prone to violence, much more supportive of political violence than you would otherwise expect.
And it's kind of scary that this woman probably was like a kind of bougie lib, definitely lib, but kind of just bougie Minneapolis white lady.
And that she would train and endeavor to obstruct federal law enforcement.
You usually don't, we're not used to those two things being together.
And yet increasingly they are.
Well, that's what she is.
Now, other bougie white ladies who have been trying to obstruct law enforcement, they are concluding from this incident that maybe they shouldn't be doing that.
We'll get to that in a moment.
One woman went viral on TikTok for it.
First, though, I want to tell you about Brick House Nutrition.
Go to takelean.com, enter Code Knowles.
This episode is sponsored by Brick House Nutrition.
By the time the average person reaches 60, they've likely cycled through numerous fad diets, the juice cleanses, the cabbage soup diet, the raw food regimens, collectively losing and regaining several hundred pounds over the years.
You've probably done it without knowing there's a name for it, weight cycling.
You lose 10 pounds, you feel great, then you watch them creep back on, plus a few extra.
Half of Americans are stuck in this frustrating cycle, and doctors are now seeing it's not just disappointing, it can be dangerous.
Truth is, most of us need more than willpower to break free from this pattern.
That is where Brick House Nutrition's lean comes in.
Unlike those expensive GLP-1 injections, lean is a non-prescription supplement created by doctors specifically for this problem.
The science behind it is solid.
Lean tackles weight loss three ways that keep it off you.
Keeps your blood sugar steady, no more energy crashes that send you back to the snack cabinet.
It controls cravings and that constant hungry feeling.
And it helps your body convert fat into energy instead of storing it.
When your body gets better at burning fat for fuel, that's when you see lasting results instead of temporary losses.
I really, really recommend this.
Multiple producers and employees at the DW have tried lean.
They're so impressed by how effective lean has been in a short period of time.
If you want to lose meaningful weight at a healthy pace, keep it off.
Add lean to your diet and exercise lifestyle.

A Charlotte woman is now terrified to obstruct law enforcement.
All right, you guys, I just watched the video of the woman in Minneapolis.
Don't go watch it, okay?
If you don't think you can handle it.
It is the most frightening thing I have seen in a long time.
This woman was driving away in her car and they put their weapon in there and hit her in the face multiple times.
This is not right.
This was not self-defense.
This was an execution.
I am shocked because only a few weeks ago, I was driving around this town that I live in in Charlotte doing very similar things, looking for ICE agents, trying to prevent them from kidnapping people off the street.
And there was a lot of other people out there doing that on a daily basis, as is our right to drive around the streets of our city.
It's frightening right now.
Okay.
The last part is really all that matters.
It's frightening right now because you can tell how confused this woman is.
She might be sincere, but she's so confused.
She says the woman was trying to drive away.
Maybe she was trying to drive, but she wasn't actually driving away.
She was driving into a cop.
It says this woman was out there.
They executed her.
They're trying to do one of these Michael Brown hands up, don't shoot lies, but we have all the video footage from all the angles, even on CNN.
Okay, we know that wasn't what happened.
Then she says, this woman, she was just out there.
You know, she was just out there doing what?
She was just trying to obstruct federal law enforcement.
And then she makes this admission.
She goes, the other week I was driving around doing the same thing, as is our right.
And maybe she thinks that.
But if there's any confusion, all who have ears to hear, let them hear.
You don't have a right to obstruct federal law enforcement or local law enforcement for that matter.
You don't have that right.
You think you have that right because Democrat politicians have lied to you and have encouraged this and have allowed the anarchy to fester and are largely responsible for that woman being killed.
But you don't really have that right.
We're going to correct the record now.
You don't have that right.
And then she says, and it's frightening there right now.
Says, I was out there doing this.
A lot of people were out there doing this.
Obviously, a lot of people in Minneapolis were doing this.
They were training people to do this.
And now we're frightened.
Yes, this is the optimal political outcome for this very sad but necessary event.
This is the optimal outcome of enforcing the law is all these women who, whether they had bad intentions, whether they are radical anarchists or whether they just don't know anything, they don't know any better.
Regardless, when you enforce the law, you frighten the people who break the law.
And then fewer of them break the law.
And they do so more reluctantly.
That's what we need.
What happens when you don't enforce the law is more and more people do this and more and more empty-headed white ladies show up on the street and put themselves in a position where they're going to be justifiably killed by a cop.
And they're going to be shocked when it happens.
That's what happens when you don't enforce the law.
That's one of the many, many injustices, cascading injustices that come about as a result of not enforcing the law.
And when you do enforce the law, you scare that bumbling lady straight.
I'm trying to be very polite and charitable in my words while still being precise.
You scare that lady who has whistles going through the ears, who's maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed, not the brightest crayon in the box.
How many more metaphors do I have to mix?
You allow people who don't know any better to behave in a better way.
Some liberal white ladies don't know how to respond.
Here's one in Minnesota talking with an independent journalist.
So, I mean, I'm just walking around kind of just days-eyed because I got, I was like, I don't know if it's the right thing to do.
It feels kind of wrong being here in some way.
I don't know why.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Like, where that stems from.
Like, I don't, I mean, part of it is being like a white woman that I'm privileged and I have a lot of privilege.
So I feel like white tears are not always something that's helpful or necessary when black and brown people have been experiencing this for a long time.
This isn't new for them.
And so I don't know if that makes any sense in that way.
How did you decide that you should be here?
Are you still figuring that out?
Well, I work like two miles from here.
So driving by, just, I don't know, you know, it's like I'm here.
I'm two miles.
I can stop.
Oh, yeah.
First point, now that I'm watching it, that's one of ours.
That's Brecka.
That's a good job, Daily Wire.
That was good.
Good.
That independent journalist is one of ours.
And we are kind of independent media.
So I guess we're in that middle game.
10 years ago, we were totally renegade new media.
And then the new media took over because the establishment media fell apart.
So great, great interview from Breckett.
That's awesome.
Because she's getting this woman to admit something, there is no end to the guilt, to the disordered thinking.
She says, I'm out here to mourn someone.
I am mourning the death of this woman.
I'm at least praying for her.
I'm not losing sleep at night, but I'm sad she died.
I'm sad for her family.
I'm sad for her.
And this woman goes out there.
She is an ideological compatriot.
She supports undermining law enforcement.
She supports mass migration.
She supports breaking the law.
She supports all this stuff.
And then she goes, but I don't, I shouldn't be crying for her because white tears are terrible.
You know, us white ladies are the worst.
The woman who was killed, it was a white lady.
So even breaking the law, trying to run over a cop, getting killed for it on behalf of face-tattoed criminal migrants, even that's not good enough.
And white ladies shouldn't cry about it.
And by implication, we shouldn't cry for you.
Bless her.
Bless that white lady in the interview.
And bless these poor white ladies who are confused.
They are not fit for this kind of politics.
They need to be guided and educated and led.
I think a lot of them are probably very nice.
They have very nice impulses, but they're not being guided in the right way.
They're not being husbanded.
They're not.
And so they're going into very bad places, into places that cause a lot of injustice.
This is that old line that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I bet these white ladies have all the best intentions in the world, and it's leading them to try to run over cops who are trying to deport murderers and rapists and drug traffickers and human traffickers.
Not good.
Meanwhile, the rest of Minneapolis is threatening to murder ICE officials explicitly.
You see them yelling at cars, yelling at cops.
You're going to die.
Kill Ice. We will find you.
Okay.
These people who are on camera, they're making direct threats.
That is not protected by the First Amendment.
That is itself a crime.
And the government, the federal government needs to go in and arrest them.
It's not just the direct threats.
It's not even just happening in Portland, or sorry, in Minneapolis.
It's also happening in Portland, by the way, but even in New York City.
There is a massive protest in New York City where people are chanting, save a life, kill ICE.
That's not a direct threat.
That is incitement.
That's also a crime.
That's also not covered by the First Amendment.
What the federal government needs to do here, a little unsolicited advice, is they need to arrest as many of these people as they can.
In the case of New York City, there are many, many people at this protest.
They're probably not going to arrest all of them.
Although I will point out the Biden administration did a good job tracking down every single Midwestern granny who took a selfie at the Capitol on January 6th.
So I think the federal resources are there when they want to enforce the law.
But if I were in the federal government right now, I would take all these people that we have on camera and I would arrest as many of them as I possibly could and I would charge them to the fullest extent of the law for direct threats and for incitement.
And the reason I would do this is not just to be a big tough guy.
It's not just because I'm super duper based or whatever.
The reason I would do this would be very practical, very politically realistic.
One thesis says that the way you bring the temperature down in the country is you just, you know, you give people a little breathing room.
You know, this is what they said during the George Floyd riots.
We need to let people vent their frustration.
And they're going to burn down a few buildings, but that's just, you know, the riots are just the cries of the unheard.
That's a thesis that the left advances that I guess some people on the right believe.
I don't think that's true.
I think that the way that you bring the temperature down is that you absolutely crush the people who are attempting to destroy the political order.
You bring down to the fullest extent possible the heavy hammer of the law and you say no.
Ain't going to happen.
I'm not saying that you pass the bounds of justice, that you pass the bounds of morality.
I'm saying that within those bounds, you do exactly what must be done to enforce order and the law.
And that is actually what brings the temperature down.
You've got to see this in psychology.
There's some people following Freud who think that the way that you help people is that you let them blow off a little steam.
Actually, I'll tell you what, I'll use a really lurid example in a debate within psychology and criminal justice to make the point.
There's some people who say that pedophiles should be allowed to look at artificial child pornography, you know, cartoons or something.
There have been legal cases on this, because it will allow them to vent their frustrations or their passions or whatever without actually harming any children.
That's the Freud view, I think, of psychology.
That's the steam engine view of psychology.
You got to blow off a little steam.
The problem with that view is that's not how human nature really works.
The way human nature really works is much closer to what Aristotle says.
It's much closer to the classical and medieval tradition, which is that people form their desires and their aversions through habit.
So the more you do something, the more you want to do it, and the less you want to do the opposite.
The more that you perform a vice, the more likely you're going to be to perform it.
The more you perform a virtue, the more likely you're going to be to perform it.
In other words, the more you do stuff, the more you develop an appetite for that stuff.
It's like an acquired taste.
The first time you drink whiskey or have caviar or something, I don't know.
I don't know if I've ever had caviar.
Have I?
Maybe once or twice.
But the more you have something that's kind of weird, coffee, when you're, you know, the first time you have coffee, you probably don't like it.
But then the more you drink it, you acquire that taste, then you want it.
That's how it goes.
Well, take it out of the realm of whiskey and caviar and coffee and pedophilia, bring it back into the realm of protesting.
The more you allow people to get away with this stuff, direct threats, incitement to violence, blocking traffic, blocking law enforcement, even driving their cars into law enforcement, the more of that behavior you're going to get.
You're going to accustom people to the behavior and to the idea that it's okay.
If you bring the hammer down, like that lady from Charlotte was saying, she says, now I'm terrified to go out and obstruct law enforcement.
Now I'm going to think twice.
I might still do it, but I'm going to think twice.
The more you do that, the more you accustom people to better behavior because the law is a teacher.
Okay.
The vice president said all of this beautifully.
He gave one of the best pressers certainly I've ever seen from a vice president, but one of the best pressers in this administration thus far.
We'll get to that momentarily first though.

Point your toes west.
Vice President comes out with typical lucidity, moral clarity.
Here's his take on Minneapolis.
Why incidents like yesterday happen?
The one final point I'll make about this is, look, there's a part of me that feels very, very sad for this woman, not just because she lost her life, but because I think she is a victim of left-wing ideology.
What young mother shows up and decides they're going to throw their car in front of ICE officers who are enforcing legitimate law?
You've got to be a little brainwashed to get to that point to where you're willing, not just to protest.
That's fine.
Not peacefully protest, but throw your vehicle in front of legitimate law enforcement officers and drive your car into them.
To get to that point, you have to be, I think, radicalized in a very, very sad way.
I certainly wish that she hadn't got there.
I know there's an ICE officer right now who very much wishes he was not put in the position where he had to fire a gun to defend his own life.
Yeah.
Spot on.
Spot on.
This is exactly the right tone.
We're not saying, ha ha, that evil domestic terrorist woman, she, yeah, we love that she's dead.
No, it's sad.
It's sad that she was so brainwashed that she, maybe she thought the ICE officers really are the Gestapo.
Where'd she get that from?
She got it from Cable News.
They're not.
She probably thought that illegal aliens have a right to be in this country.
They don't.
But she's heard that from all the Democrat balls.
She's heard that from everyone who says that illegal aliens are undocumented Americans.
Well, if they're Americans, they have a right to be here.
They're not Americans.
That's the point.
She probably thought these people are totally innocent.
They're not face-tattoed gangsters.
They don't come across the border with the help of the cartels.
They're not defrauding the government.
She probably thought they're all just little Lebuela trying to peacefully make a paella in the kitchen.
And then the Gestapo show up.
No.
She was brainwashed.
And she betrayed her family.
She betrayed her daughter.
It's sad.
She didn't mean to.
But she did.
To go out there and for so, not just so stupid a cause, but for such an unjust cause to go out there and to leave your kid without a mother.
Well, the family is confusing and it's a point for another time.
That's bad to do.
That's really bad.
And so you feel sorry for this woman that her mind would be so scrambled up to get to that point.
That doesn't change the fact that it was all wrong.
In fact, that should impel you to want to set the record straight, which is what JD does when it comes to the news media.
The way that the media, by and large, has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace, and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day.
Everybody who has been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's the thing.
If you lie, generally, you should be ashamed of yourself because you're committing a mortal sin.
If you lie about an event of public interest, you should especially be ashamed of yourself because it causes political scandal.
But if you lie about this kind of an issue, you should triply be ashamed of yourself because you are setting the stage for naive and ignorant people to put themselves in harm's way for your lie.
And that's what happened.
The liberal media, it is not hyperbole to say the liberal media bear a considerable amount of responsibility for that woman's death going back five years, going back 10 years, going back 20 years maybe.
Okay, speaking of attacks on law enforcement, we turn now to Oregon, where State Senator Casey Jama follows Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry saying that ICE needs to get out of town.
Let me say to these federal agencies and the AIS, this is Oregon.
We do not need you.
You're not welcome.
And you need to get the hell out of our community.
I think the minimum requirement for ordering immigration enforcement around should be speaking English properly.
Call me old-fashioned.
But I think if you're going to order immigration enforcement around, you need to be able to speak the tongue of the country.
I want to tell you one thing, sir.
Listen to me very much, Christina.
You will get the heck out of this town because we true Americans, we will not tolerate the federal government coming in here and enforcing the laws.
Do you understand, sir?
I actually don't know what his ethnic background is.
I can't quite make it out.
Is it South Asian or African?
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
In any case, I love the Indians.
I don't, the Pakistani is a little bit, no, there's some great Pakistanis, sure, and they're all Africans too and all.
But, you know, guys, if you're going to come to this country, one, it has to be in relatively small numbers so that you can assimilate and everything.
And two, if you're going to come to this country, you probably shouldn't order our government around.
And three, if you're going to order our government around, you probably should speak the language first.
This is not persuasive.
This was even less persuasive than Jacob Fry.
Although maybe it's, this guy's a little older than Jacob Fry.
And Jacob Fry did the millennial thing yesterday where he just inserted the F word in a whiny tone to let you know he's super duper serious.
He said, ICE needs to get the F out of here.
Get the F out, man.
Jacob Fry does speak English, though he just chooses not to most of the time so he can speak Tatooine instead.
But this guy doesn't speak English that well.
And he's a little older.
So he said, get the hell out.
If he were not a Gen X or a boomer, but Silent Generation, he would probably say, get the heck out or get the, I don't know.
Anyway, you know, you don't get to order immigration.
Immigration enforcement might start talking to you, buddy.
It might throw that demand back on you.
Now, speaking of English, this is actually the most amazing story of the day.
The United Arab Emirates are now cutting funds for students to study at schools where they might be indoctrinated into radical Islam.
And those schools are not in Iran or Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.
The schools that they don't want their students to study in are in the UK.
The United Arab Emirates are saying, look, we do not want our students to go to Oxford or Cambridge because they might be radicalized into Islamic brotherhood ideology.
It's just an amazing, it's an amazing story.
Where is it?
I have the article somewhere here.
Do I?
Do I?
I think I do.
No, they didn't give it to me.
Okay, that's too bad.
Well, anyway, producers slept in a little bit today.
They got, I don't know, not quite with the clips or with the articles, but that's the take my word for it.
It's in the Financial Times.
Okay.
This is a British publication.
They say, yeah, the UAE, a bunch of the Arab Emirates are afraid that the Brits are going to radicalize them into Islam.
Tells you, I like the UAE.
I've spent a little bit of time there.
Probably not going to move there anytime soon, but when the Arab Emirates are telling you you guys are going too far on the Islam, they probably, you should pay attention.
Okay.
Before we get to my favorite time of the week, one last story.
Speaking of Muslim radicals in Minnesota, got to give a hat tip to Mays here.
Just an amazing find.
This is from 2022.
Amid all of the talk about Minnesota and the fraud with the migrants, which is one of the factors impelling all of the ICE raids and the protests and the this and the that.
Don't forget what this comes down to.
A bunch of Somalis showed up to Minneapolis, showed up to Minnesota and defrauded the taxpayer of jillions of dollars and sent a lot of that money back to Somalia, some of it to the terror group al-Shabaab.
They did this by defrauding the healthcare system and the child care system.
Nick Shirley, when he goes to the child care centers and there aren't any kids there, you see the fraud.
Chris Ruffo's great coverage of the Minneapolis fraud.
It's about health care and childcare specifically.
Here's a beautiful clip.
Blast from the past, 2022.
First Lady Jill Biden making a stop in Minnesota today to tout the country's investments in child care.
She was joined by Governor Walls and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becera during a visit this afternoon to the University of Minnesota.
Biden highlighted major investments in child care through the American Rescue Plan.
Billions of dollars in funding have helped states like Minnesota keep health care and child care providers open and boost pay for child care workers during the pandemic.
First Lady says there's still more work to be done, though.
More than 130,000 child care providers across the country have received federal funding.
Last year, the state of Minnesota received more than $500 million to help the child care industry.
And here we have the First Lady of the United States, Joe Biden, who at that point was probably the acting president because Joe's brain had turned to pudding.
Coming here.
Yes, we're so happy to give all these gajillions of dollars to Somali criminal syndicates in Minnesota.
They knew and they knew they gave it.
They totally own this.
It's just perfect.
Walls clearly knew what was going on.
There's some evidence his office is engaged in a cover-up right now.
There are like a dozen things we could arrest that guy for right now.
And maybe we should.
Maybe we should.
For decades, Americans have been taught a version of history designed to shame them, silence them, make them think that certain questions are off limits.
That ends now.
Matt Walsh's new series, Real History with Matt Walsh, premieres Monday, January 19th, exclusively on Daily War Plus.
This series confronts the lies of omissions and propaganda baked into the history you were taught not to challenge.
It starts with one of the biggest myths of all.
Here is your first look at episode one.
They told you America invented slavery.
They told you the Indians were peaceful.
They told you colonialism was evil and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy.
And guess what?
They lied.
For half a century, generations of American school children have been taught to hate our history, hate our country, and hate themselves.
Time to set the record straight.
And since no one else is going to do it, I will.
Who sold us the slaves?
What were India and Africa like before Europeans arrived?
What caused white flight?
Some of the most well-known stories from American history are designed to demoralize you.
Trail of Tears, Smallpox, Blankets Myth, Red Scare.
It's all baseless.
It's time for a lesson in what they're not teaching in public schools on the real history of slavery, of colonialism, of the Indians, of America, and the world.
It's time for Real History with Matt Walsh.
Do not miss it.
Season one of Real History with Matt Walsh Premieres Monday, January 19th.

My favorite comment yesterday is from PNW Vibes.
It's actually really easy not to get shot by the cops.
Let all who have ears to hear, let them hear.
Not getting shot by the cops is like the easiest thing in the world.
It's much harder to learn how to use a yo-yo.
It's much more difficult to play a diatonic harmonica than it is to not get shot by the cops.
10 and 2, yes, sir, no, sir.
Don't drive your car into them.
Don't run away from them.
Even running away from them is probably fine.
Running toward them, like charging them, don't reach for their weapons.
Yeah, it's not that hard.
Also, as that clip started, I looked once again through my papers.
I have to, Jacob, Professor Jacob, it's right there at the top, did print out my Financial Times article about the UAE.
That was a prejudgment or a rash judgment.
It takes a very big, handsome, sexy man to admit when he was wrong.
I got my article, Professor Jacob.
He did.
He was semi-diligent.
They got me.
They got me.
Okay.
They got me.
Can I admit that?
Can a man admit that?
Finally, finally, we arrive at my favorite time of the week.

Good morning, Michael.
This is Arun.
Public protest should be illegal.
Change my mind.
Now, to clarify, I believe absolutely in the constitutional right to petition the government for regressive grievances, but that can be done by sending a strongly worded email to your House representative.
I think protest of the form we're seeing right now in Minneapolis or anywhere in the country that involves going out in the streets with obnoxious signs and slogans, that is a public safety threat and just should not be tolerated in America.
I'm curious as to your thoughts.
Yeah, I largely agree.
At the risk of sounding like a lib, I do think there is a role for public protest in American life.
I think you see that throughout the American political tradition, going back to the colonial days.
I think there is a role for that.
However, you're entirely right.
You don't get to protest in the middle of the street.
That is, and people really think that you can.
They think that the right to protest or the right to redress grievances, petition your government to redress grievances, is, it means that you get to just do whatever you want in the middle of the street.
That's not true.
If you want to protest, you need permits.
You need to do it in an orderly way.
You need to clean up after yourself.
There is still order.
That's the whole point of the public protest is it's within the political order, even established by the Constitution.
So, yeah, like if there's an empty field somewhere, you can host a rally.
That's fine.
If you're within certain quarters around the White House or something, I get there are always people protesting stuff there, usually funded by foreign lobbies.
But, yeah, the stuff, the middle of the street stuff, those people need to be arrested immediately.
No question.
Okay, next question.
Michael, I know your answer to the question of should a wife and husband be buried in the same cemetery as yes, but I'm curious about your thoughts in my particular situation.
My parents immigrated from India, have since moved back and will be buried in India.
I have two older brothers.
We all live in Connecticut.
But when it comes to retirement, we will all be moving to different states and out of the state of Connecticut.
I'm Catholic and plan to be buried in a Catholic cemetery.
My wife, her family has relatives that can date back to at least the Revolutionary War.
She, her family is of Protestant extraction, and she wants to be buried in the cemetery in Connecticut that many of her family members are buried in.
What would you do if you were in my situation?
It's a nuanced question, though.
Actually, you asked the right person because I'm also Catholic and I also have family that goes back to the Revolutionary War and before then.
So I get it.
You know, those New England cemeteries.
In fact, there's a cemetery in Maine, middle of nowhere, Maine, where my Revolutionary War ancestor, one of them, Simon Knowles, and his wife Lydia Knowles, they're buried.
You can go see the headstone today.
The headstones are from the early to mid-19th century.
So it's cool.
I like all that.
The rest of my family is not buried there, though.
And I would say, as a Catholic, the reason you want to be buried in a Catholic cemetery is because we believe that that gives you even more graces, you know, graces from celebration of the Mass and all.
And look, some Protestants will believe in that stuff.
Some Protestants won't.
And people who are not religious think it's all hoo-eye.
But if you're Catholic, as you say, that's what you believe.
That's why you want to be buried in a Catholic cemetery.
You can be buried as a Catholic in a non-Catholic cemetery, in a family plot or something.
You can do that.
But I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
You know, you leave your family.
Our Lord tells us you leave your mother and father and you join together with your spouse.
And what God has joined, let no man separate.
You don't literally have to be buried next to your spouse, but I think you should.
And if the question is, what matters more to me, my family heritage or my faith?
If you're really thinking about it seriously, your faith should matter more to you.
So, you know, if it's a real sticking point, I guess you guys could be buried in the New England cemetery, but take it from another Catholic.
But even, you know, a lot of my family who weren't buried in those cemeteries, they weren't Catholic.
But it's another one of old New England stock, old Revolutionary War stock.
It's nice that some of your ancestors were buried there and you can go visit them.
But, you know, you've gone out and spread across the country as our ancestors perhaps envisioned.
And I would pick the cemetery near to where you're living, maybe near to where your children are living, cemetery nearer to your faith over the family one, even though the family cemetery is very, very cool, I admit.
Next one.
Hi, Michael.
I have a theory about Professor Jacob's coincidence.
I think God is trying to use him to play matchmaker with someone at the dealership and someone at a car repair shop.
What do you think?
Wow.
Can we get Jacob on the line?
Professor, can you pipe in?
Are you there?
Let's get him to pipe in.
Professor, do we have you?
Hey, I'm here.
Okay.
So you heard this theory.
The reason that, and this is just his view, the reason that God is allowing you to crash your car every three days is to play matchmaker, bad news for your girlfriend Destiny, but to play matchmaker with someone at the dealership or the repair shop.
The first question I have is, do you go to the same repair shop every time?
My insurance handles it.
When you mean your insurance?
My insurance usually comes and takes the car and fixes it and gives it back to me.
I don't even go to the repair shop.
They go, they take the car, they fix it for you?
Yep.
Huh.
I thought you were going to say my insurance handles it because I total it every time.
But okay, so they go, they fix it.
So you, now, could it be the case that whoever you're talking to at the insurance company is the person you're supposed to marry?
Well, I'm happily in a relationship, but you want to know something very ironic about this question?
Yeah.
The way Destiny and I came back into contact was because she slid up on one of my stories where I posted my car shortly after an accident when I repaired it and changed the color.
That's not ironic, actually.
That's just a coincidence, and it might further the thesis of the question, but you're using irony in the same way that Alanis Morissette did in that stupid song from the 90s.
In any case, that's an amazing story.
And I think it basically, in a weird way, defends the guy's thesis.
The member of the Kheim de la Reims thesis.
Okay.
That was very good.
It's Fake Headline Friday.

All of this is an illusion.
An echo of a voice that has died.
And soon that echo will cease.
They say that Merlin is mad.
They say he was a king, and Dovet.
The son of a princess of lost Atlantis.
They say the future and the past are known to him.
That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.
Let the magic of the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command.
They say he slew hundreds.
Hundreds, do you hear?
That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
The Merlin died long before you and I were born.
Merlin Emirus has returned to the land of the living.
Vortigern is gone.
Room is gone.
The Saxon is here.
Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the island of the mighty.
And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
And he will have it.
If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him, here is your hope.
A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand.
A high king who will be the wonder of the world.
You to a future of peace.
There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
Men of the island of the mighty, you stand together.
You stand as Britons.
You stand as one.
Get the girl!
Great darkness is falling upon this land.
These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
